So last year, in that gap while I wasn't blogging, I was still writing, and submitting my writing, and being published, though not in the usual sense. Every year in November, the little town of Deloraine plays host to the world renowned (is it? I'm sure it must be!) Tasmanian Craft Fair. Deloraine I'm sure must be … Continue reading Publication with a difference – at the Tasmanian Craft Fair

#AWW2017 Review – The Spare Room by Kathryn Lomer
A couple of years ago I saw Kathryn Lomer in conversation with Cate Kennedy, a fantastic conversation about writing that encouraged me to buy at least one book by each of these fantastic authors. I bought 'talk under water' by Kathryn, and loved it, so I was really looking forward to reading this one, and I wasn't disappointed. … Continue reading #AWW2017 Review – The Spare Room by Kathryn Lomer
A Novel’s Research
Some time ago I published the first of what I intended to be a short series on the writing of my novel. That post was 'A Novel's Inspiration' and here, finally, is post #2 - a brief account of the research that went into this novel. First of all there were the bush walks - one of … Continue reading A Novel’s Research
#AWW2016 Review – The World Beneath by Cate Kennedy
Late last year I attended the Tasmanian Readers and Writers Festival in Hobart, where I listened to Cate Kennedy and Kathryn Lomer in conversation, and discovered this book. The next day I also attended Cate's Masterclass, and I am so glad I did - what an amazing day - (you can read about it here). 🙂 … Continue reading #AWW2016 Review – The World Beneath by Cate Kennedy
#aww2016 Tangara by Nan Chauncy
If you're a 'liker' of my Facebook Page, you would have seen the post last month about discovering 'Tangara' by Nan Chauncy in a box of books my grandmother gave me. I posted at the time: So my grandmother was clearing out some books and gave me two boxes full! In amongst the treasures … Continue reading #aww2016 Tangara by Nan Chauncy
Review – The Alphabet of Light and Dark – Danielle Wood
"...it is often the silent who end up with the task of the telling. Perhaps it's because, undeafened by the sound of their own voices, they've heard so much more." Yes, I'm reviewing another of Danielle Wood's books. 🙂 I recently finished reading 'The Alphabet of Light and Dark', and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This book … Continue reading Review – The Alphabet of Light and Dark – Danielle Wood
A Perfect Place for Surprises
I wanted to show you my favouritist place in the whole world! (yes, I know favouritist isn't a word lol - but it needed to be emphasised here) This is The Paddocks (not quite it's real name, but we can't have everyone flooding the place!). I've been here about half a dozen times since my … Continue reading A Perfect Place for Surprises
Inspiration from below ground
We're heading into winter here in the Southern Hemisphere. The days are getting shorter, cooler (I wouldn't say 'colder' yet, although we have had the odd chilly day). In spite of this, my little family and I seem to be getting out and about more than we did over the warmer months! Yesterday marked the … Continue reading Inspiration from below ground
Inspiration from the Tassie Bush
I read somewhere (possible The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron), about the importance of making sure there is fresh inspiration. That as writers, we can only output what we input. I've been stuck indoors, editing various stories for a while now, with little fresh input to inspire me. But last weekend, that changed. My dear … Continue reading Inspiration from the Tassie Bush
Tassie – Four Seasons in One Day
Well - two seasons at least.... As mentioned in my previous post, I woke up Saturday morning to see snow on the nearby mountains. I knew it was there - the cloud cover the previous day, alongside the bitterly cold temperature told me it was snowing, but to see it - so early in the … Continue reading Tassie – Four Seasons in One Day
